Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Cevabınız soruya doğrudan “Yes” diyerek başlıyor; ancak devamında zaman, kelime seçimi ve cümle yapısı sorunları anlamı zorlaştırıyor. “Is it stolen” yerine geçmiş zaman ve edilgen yapı kullanarak “it was stolen” demelisiniz. “My moral and my motivation goes very down” doğal değildir; bunun yerine “I lost my motivation to ride” veya “I felt very discouraged” ifadelerini kullanabilirsiniz. Ayrıca gereksiz “uh” tekrarlarını azaltın ve cevabı geçmişte bisiklet sahibi olma, bisikletin çalınması ve bunun sonucu şeklinde daha düzenli kurun.

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but it was stolen when I was about ten. As a result, I felt very discouraged and gradually lost my motivation to ride. I have not owned a bike since then.

提案: Ana fikriniz anlaşılır ve neden belirttiğiniz için cevap temel olarak etkilidir. Ancak “I think no, not much” yerine daha doğal olan “Not really” veya “I don’t think so” ifadelerini kullanın. “The roads are not inappropriate” ifadesi ters anlam oluşturur; burada “the roads are not suitable or safe for cycling” demelisiniz. “So” ile bağlantı kurmanız olumlu, fakat cevabı daha spesifik hâle getirmek için bisiklet yollarının eksikliği, yoğun trafik veya güvenlik sorunları gibi bir örnek ekleyebilirsiniz.

例: Not really. Bikes are not very popular in my country because many roads are not suitable or safe for cycling. In addition, there are very few dedicated bike lanes, and the heavy traffic discourages people from riding.

× Now I don't have any.

✓ Now I don't have one.

The singular countable noun bike is understood here, so one should be used instead of any. Any is normally used with plural countable nouns or uncountable nouns. A natural alternative is: I don't have a bike now.

× Is it stolen when I was a kid?

✓ It was stolen when I was a kid.

The theft happened in the past, so the past simple passive was stolen is required. Also, this is a statement, not a question, so it should begin with It was rather than Is it.

× My moral and my motivation goes very down after this situation.

✓ My morale and my motivation go way down after this situation.

The compound subject my morale and my motivation is plural, so the verb must be go, not goes. In addition, morale is the appropriate noun for a person's emotional confidence or enthusiasm. The expression go way down is more natural than go very down.

× My moral and my motivation goes very down after this situation.

✓ My morale and my motivation went way down after this situation.

Because the bike was stolen when the speaker was a child and the situation is being described as a completed past event, the past simple went is more appropriate than the present form go. Use the present tense only if this is a general or repeated result.

× I think no, not much.

✓ I don't think so. Not very much.

The structure I think no is not natural English for disagreeing with a yes-or-no question. Use I don't think so, followed by a short qualification such as Not very much.

× The roads are not inappropriate for a bike.

✓ The roads are not appropriate for bikes.

Inappropriate means unsuitable, but not inappropriate means suitable, which gives the opposite meaning from the intended one. Use not appropriate to say that the roads are unsuitable. Bikes is used generically when discussing bicycles in general.
